Agree with this. To be fair Salford took a bit of a chance on him bringing him over and he feels a connection and a commitment to them with I think is admirable.

Some on here seem to think this is champ manager, we like him let’s sign him, offer him more he will come. Doesn’t always work that way. Yeah we would love to sign an organising half back, Hastings would be ideal but if he doesn’t want to come then he doesn’t want to come. On the back of that there aren’t that many organising half backs around who we can just sign up.

I thought Hastings had signed for 2 years but appears its only 1, Salford are in the brown stuff financially can they afford to keep him?

Said before would not touch Hastings with a barge pole couple of years ago, but kept his head down and sorted himself out. Would Sign him tomorrow, real class half back.

Definitely loyal to Salford. Turned down Wigan as a way to thank Salford and the fans for giving him a chance when it looked like his career was coming to an end. Would love him at Leeds but a return to the NRL must surely carry more weight

Let's get something right. Wigan wanted Hastings for more than one year and the player wanted to keep his options open hoping for a return to NRL.

It had absolutely nothing to do with loyalty to Salford.

Time moves on and maybe Hastings will take up a lucrative offer from a Super League club possibly Leeds. For sure he will not be at Salford next year.

He is certainly a player we should be looking at. Quality half. Of course the pull of the NRL will be there but we should be willing to step in should it not come off.

Thought he spoke well on Sky last night too. Came across well.

Only downside is he looks like Sam Tomkins!
